About the Imperial Valley Food Bank

Imperial Valley Food Bank (IVFB) is an independent, non-profit
charitable corporation, created and operated for and by residents of
Imperial Valley with the purpose of feeding those in need living in
Imperial County. The food bank was established in 1991 and over the
years has grown in size, structure, and purpose responding to increased
need for food assistance by Imperial County residents experiencing
hunger. Limitations at its aging facility have forced the IV Food Bank
to raise funds to build a larger, energy-efficient and food safe storage
facility to continue to serve the unique needs of the food insecure in
Imperial County as long as there is a need.
